B’ruchim ha’baim, welcome.​

My name is Rabbi Michal Loving, and I am a community rabbi in southern California.

I find deep meaning in helping connect other people to their own spirituality and to the larger Jewish community. It may sound trite, but I honestly believe that our world is an amazing, awe-inspiring place. Living a Jewish life helps us appreciate what we have, and gives us a lens through which to constantly improve ourselves and the world around us. No matter our background, gender, sexual identity, or family situation, there is always, always, a place for us within Judaism.

Everyone's journey is different. I look forward to accompanying you on yours.​

​"[T]he purpose of Judaism – and the purpose of relationships – is to love the other and the Other, the thou and the Thou. When you do, you find meaning – an understanding of the significance of life; you find purpose – an imperative to do what you are put on earth to do during your life; you find belonging – a community of people who will be there for you and with you; and you find blessing – a feeling of deep satisfaction and gratitude, a calendar and life cycle of opportunities to celebrate the gifts of life."
